Time...a real measure of a company's value to its customers and suppliers. At Higgins, we have survived this test-of-time implementing the philosophy summed up by Higgins' President, Harry S. Anthony.

Change does not necessarily mean improvement, but improvement never comes without change. Second, our Higgins people, those who have made our buslness of buying and selling lumber a success. Our past 100 years is a ref lection of their dedication and ability to serve our customers and maintain good, long term relationships with suppliers.

At Higgins, we look forward to our second century!
